Landslides in the UK, around the world and under the sea.
The National Geoscience programme is a forward-looking investment in UK geology that provides relevant, coherent and enriched geoscience knowledge for our stakeholders.
Geothermal energy is available across the UK in different geological settings. It can be used to produce thermal (and in some places electrical) energy for a wide range of uses.
UK Geoenergy Observatories are facilitating a step change in our understanding of geology and our relationship with the underground environment.
We are measuring, recording and analysing ground motions from earthquakes and other seismic events across the UK and overseas.
Geothermal energy resources occur in a broad range of geological settings. The BGS Geothermal team has experience in assessing and characterising shallow and deep geothermal resources.
Active and previous research projects.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground. Exposure to high concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer.
